Summary Barbieproved to be a thematically profound and extremely profitable pop culture phenomenon, leaving Hollywood scrambling to find the"new Barbie.“Other movies based on toys and games have entered development,although none are based on products as iconic as Barbie. More than likely, many of these movies will turn out to be unremarkable uses of IP. Making a movie about an anthropomorphized toy isn’t all that difficult; the challenge is recapturing the surrealistic and relevant storyBarbietells....

It’s a bad time to build a gaming PC. Althoughbuilding a PC yourselfcan usually net you hundreds of dollars in savings, a continued rise in the cost of components makes it nearly impossible to put together a machine at a reasonable price. And the main reason why is the ongoing GPU shortage. Rising prices aren’t anything new for PC components. GPU prices ebb and flow with demand and RAM prices rock up and down like a roller coaster, and those two components alone can represent a significant portion of your build price....

For the first time, a spacecraft has docked with a satellite and moved it to extend its lifespan. This could help reduce the growing problem of space debris. In February this year, the Northrop Grumman’s Mission Extension Vehicle (MEV-1) spacecraft docked with the Intelsat 901 (IS-901) satellite, a privately-owned satellite used for communications which was running low on fuel and would not have been able to maintain its orbit. MEV-1 then took over the navigation of the satellite at the start of April, and has succeeded in raising its orbit by moving it to a new location over a period of six hours....

That’s beginning to change, though. At a press event last Friday, AMD announced a series of new APUs made for enterprise laptops, but more importantly, some significant support from the biggest PC manufacturers....

Both carriers were to begin rolling out the newC-band spectrumas soon as January 5. However, U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Chief Steve Dickson sent a formal request to the CEOs of both companies asking that they delay the rollout for a couple of weeks....

In a year marred by an ongoing global pandemic, it’s temptingly easy to argue that ridesharing is doomed. Why would you want to ride with strangers and go Dutch on a herd of germs when you could drive your own car and know whose filth you’re bathing in? This argument has merits, but it leaves out the millions of people who do not own a car for a variety of reasons, and it falsely assumes that society’s coronavirus-related wounds will never heal....

That’s likely part of the reason it hasn’t been given a fair shake by viewers. It’s intimidatingly long for an uncertain payoff, with the anime at over 150 episodes and the manga at nearly 400 chapters. If time is invested, then just beneath its occasionally heavy-handed tropes, viewers will findone of the most endearing, gripping, and hype-heavy shonen franchisesever put to paper....
